My primary need is for a quiet automatic stapler. We're in a small office where noises echo. I wanted something that doesn't make a loud impact noise, which is what we have now. I know these exist because someone else here at work has one that's quiet. More like a mechanical whisper noise.

The Kingston SSDNow UV400 is a couple of years old now, but it remains the company's latest mainstream SSD option – Kingston's performance drive is the HyperX Savage. It's based on planar TLC NAND rather than a form of 3D NAND, which you might think would suggest it's at a disadvantage, given that...

Decent price; Delivers the basics

Lower capacities are slow; No five-year warranty

Perfect

Now bought two of these to upgrade my laptops. What an amazing difference! I was expecting booting to be a lot faster as that uses a lot of disk IO, but I was surprised by how much faster the machines load applications as well. A very worthwhile upgrade over spinning "rust disks".

I have installed this drive in 2 older laptops. Also went from Windows 7 to 10 at the same time. It improved startup speed from "turn it on and go watch some tv till it boots up" to boot up in 25 seconds.

I always use Kingston product never failed in twenty years

While I prefer the PNY equivalent as it is typically about $10-$15 less in cost, Micro Center has been out of the PNY 240 GB for some time now. I cloned a 250 GB spinning drive to the Kingston and, as expected, the performance with the SSD was night and day. 7 year old computer now boots in 15 sec.

I bought this SSD to improve the boot/load times of a 4 year old i3 laptop and it did the job wonderfully. It is much faster than the 5400rpm drive it replaced.

-Price; -Capacity

-None

Bought for a couple of general purpose machines and work fine. Not going to break any records with these but they are well priced for the size.

There's nothing like making an ancient laptop run like a brand new laptop with a cheap upgrade and while really any SSD can do that trick, I feel better buying a product from a company I have had experience with and trust.

It worked as expected

Newegg didn't pay me to buy it
